NCAA Football 06

THE BAD:
-Bad Sound Track
-Controls are hard to adjust to at first

SUMMARY:
Presentation (+):

The main menu has enhanced greatly. Now, instead of seeing your favorite team players doing whatever they do, you get to see random team clips from last year of amazing plays and breaks. Loading screens are filled with colorful art of football, a more mature version of NFL Street art.

Graphics (?):

The graphics have gotten more colorful from the gritty and realistic feel of last year's version. Now players have added for color to them. It's hard to decide if it's enhanced, the same, or declined from the last.

Sound (-):

The voiceovers of Corso and Co. are good, but they say the same things from last year. Yeah, you get to see them, but let's add some new stuff! And my biggest disappointment, the Sound Track. It's horrible. After hearing that, I wish that they would have kept College Sounds as their Sound Track.

Gameplay (+):

The new ability to play as your own created character in Heisman Race, the ability to Recruit In-Season in Dynasty, and the ability to play in Summer Drills such as Oklahoma; but let's talk about the real gameplay because you know all that's a plus. The new features of gameplay is mainly Impact Players. Impact Players don't do much to your game, but it's fun to juke someone out or truck a RB in Matrix Version. Of course, they're the best guys on your team (most of the time), but it does nothing much other than let you know your best players. But the new controls are hard to get a hang of from 2005, but you can set the controls back to 2005 controls so it rules out that flaw.

Lasting Appeal (+):

Of course, if you're a NCAA Football Fan, you know Dynasty Mode lasts up to 20 years with those new features. But the biggest edition: Heisman Mode. Of course, unlike Madden, you can only stay in the mode for either 3 or 4 years, depending on if you want to be drafted your Junior season. But the replay value of this Mode is great, depending on if you get bored easy. For unlike Madden, you now have to try to compete greater to win the awards, you have to try and guide your team into the Top 25 or more importantly to #1 (whereas in Madden you just have to win about 9 games, depending on other team's records, to get into the playoffs) so if you can't get your fill of College Football, the Lasting Appeal of Heisman and Dynasty are great.
